MUSICAL MASTERY

Maintaining student motivation throughout the first year is centered on each student perceiving that they are progressing and achieving musically. Create a sequential system of short-term goals within a long-term project (i.e. a rhythm progression) where students can see measurable progress by receiving stickers for daily achievement. Sequential systems provide all learners with a clear path to success and offer students that are ahead with materials to always challenge them. Set aside a few minutes daily to work with every beginner student on a sequential system (these Progressive Points). One-on-one time with every student daily promotes an invested teacher-student relationship and consistent feedback.
